Forgot to mention he relisted them and they sold for AU $1,051.00.
Also I went through my collection of them and found a few double bar varieties, is there an estimated price on these?

top of page listing "This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available"
The seller obviously pulled it. I didn't think the listing would have counted down to 0 and have no one bid on it.
Hay I would of sooooooo been there if it had ;)

@MobOfRoos, yes their status is largely bullion. In Melbourne I have seen bags of them sold by the kilo. There were over 30 million of them made so no shortage there. However extremely high grade show piece examples of them are hard to find. I suppose large silver coins land with a thud and are easily dinted by the one landing on top of them in the finish bin. @ aarong. slightly off topic. I once saw an Indian silver rupee listed at $0.01 opening bid. I bid and won it as the only bid  , but was then contacted by the seller who said that there had had been some listing error/mixup and would I agree to the cancellation. I said OK. Neither of us lost anything but it was a fun few seconds before that email arrived. |

So what would have happened if you had said 'NOT OK'?

The seller would be unhappy, losing the postage as well, and I would be unhappy making someone unhappy all for a $10 piece of silver. So technically I could have potentially gained a free rupee, but morally I would have certainly been the loser. As it stands, neither of us lost anything and that is the best outcome. |

I hear you trout1105 - I have been buying Perth Mint silver from Germany... with postage it is still cheaper than buying here... and like you say, its nice to bring these babies home. Oh, drat, I have just told everyone and now they will start doing it too and driving up the price! ;-) |

As long as its CCF people in on the act it has to be a good thing.
We have to share the opertunities with our mates in this fourum, ,.
It's just the done thing, after all this site is all about sharing ideas and knowlage.
It is nice to know that most of our aussie coins will go to collectors and not the melt mob.
